Board of Trustees Approves New Instructional Facility

The College of Business Instructional Facility was approved by the
University of Illinois Board of Trustees on July 14, 2005.

With this approval, the College and the campus requested bids for site
preparation and construction. Ground breaking is scheduled for April
28, 2006. According to design and construction consultants, the new
Business Instructional Facility will be completed in early summer of
2008, with occupancy in time for the fall 2008 semester.

"My
thanks to the many alumni, corporate partners, faculty, staff and
friends of the College whose generous financial support has made
this wonderful project possible," said Dean Avijit
Ghosh. "I offer my special thanks to two of our alums, who prefer
to remain anonymous, whose leadership gifts were pivotal to our fund
raising campaign."

The Dean also expressed his appreciation to
College of Business faculty and staff in an email announcement about
BOT approval.

"In the final analysis, it is the dedication and hard work
of the faculty, staff, and students that created the excitement and
support for this project. I thank you all for making this long-cherished
dream a reality."
